Virtual reality image compositing

A method for performing one step compositing, comprising:

• receiving, at an operating system executing on a computer device, at least a first surface from a first image source and a second surface from a second image source;
• generating, at the operating system, a composite image with a combined first surface and second surface by contemporaneously applying position corrections to the first surface and the second surface and lens distortion corrections to the first surface and the second surface and blending the first surface and the second surface into respective positions in the composite image;
• and
• transmitting the composite image representing a virtual environment for presentation to a downstream consumer.

A computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer device, comprising:

• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive at least a first surface from a first image source and a second surface from a second image source;
• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to generate a composite image with a combined first surface and second surface by contemporaneously applying position corrections to the first surface and the second surface and lens distortion corrections to the first surface and the second surface and blending the first surface and the second surface into respective positions in the composite image;
• and
• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to transmit the composite image representing a virtual environment for presentation to a downstream consumer.
